We have to say that Fulham fans are ‘dissatisfied with the referee’ in this first half. Joel Matip got away with some questionable interference. The hosts still keep to themselves.

close! Fulham’s Pereira kicked Tim Ream’s header free kick wide, then Joao Balenha’s effort veered wide. Very nice pressure from the hosts.

Key storylines

For Fulham, it’s been a wild ride over the past five seasons with two relegations and three promotions to the Premier League. Life at Craven Cottage is anything but boring. All their hopes are once again pinned on Aleksandar Mitrovic as the Serbian goal machine (at least in the second tier) will be punctuated with crosses and the hope is that he can finally become prolific in the Premier League. Marco Silva has been upfront about Fulham not making many signings this summer, and staying in place would be a huge achievement. Silva loves the counterattack and needs a good start to the season to build positive vibes. Sidenote: Fulhammerica is still going strong with Tim Ream and Anthony Robinson playing key roles this season.

Liverpool have had a good and calm overall performance. They sold Sadio Mane early in the summer but replaced him with signing club record holder Darwin Nunez who looks set to be the next attacking star at Anfield. And yes, they managed to sign Mohamed Salah to a new long-term contract as well. Klopp’s side have had some strange results in pre-season, but they are preparing well for the new campaign and the big questions revolve around how Nunez, Diaz and Salah come together as the front three, as well as how much gas the likes of Jordan Henderson are. Thiago Alcantara left in the tank to lead another push to win the four cups.
